First Line Game

@dear-massacre tagged me for this awhile ago, but I’m a slacker. The idea is to post the first line from the last ten fics you posted and see if there’s a trend. I can’t decide on just 10 of my battleship fics and they all have the same date, so you get lines from all of them. I’m not sure if I should apologize or say you’re welcome.

Hidden Species Universe

honestly, this whole series and world is just a delight! I am a bit shocked that there is not a lot of fan content on tumblr. I guess it might be the book covers that turns people off?

Love the Demons-In-Law series. It’s just a big chocolate chip cookie. Can we get a short epilogue of everyone’s children? Or weddings? Alistar is suppose to throw the best weddings to end all weddings for him and Aidan.

Asher and Garett can’t be the only ones that got married.

Something I'm extremely proud of lmao

An animation of clumsy flying Sobek. One of my best animations so far

[tanoraqui]

I’m not personally a headcanonner of Maglor living in Rivendell in LotR under a new name, but if he is, I adamantly believe that he is not Lindir (“song guy”) but rather Erestor (tentatively glossed “lonely brother.”) Tragic humor or bust!

DP X DC WRITING PROMPT #13

(I've been kicking this idea around for a while, so here's this.)

✦

Mistaken Species

Phantom gets mistaken for a greater ice demon by a wannabe wizard going on a "gotta catch'em all" spree, and is subsequently sealed inside said wizard's book of magic as a potential binding summons/familiar. Danny goes missing for months? Years? Regardless of how long, somehow, someway, the book falls into Constantine's hands --He probably stole it in a game of poker. Yes, stole.-- then he pretty much just stashes it in the House of Mystery for safekeeping like all the other magic items that have been confiscated by the JLD.

It isn't until a world ending heat related threat appears, that he excavates the book and proceeds to make a familiar's contract with what he thinks is a powerful ice demon. What he gets instead is a very confused, very scared, and very exhausted Danny. Unfortunately for both of them, the familiar's contract still binds despite Danny being the wrong species of supernatural creature it was intended for. They are now stuck with each other for an indefinite amount of time.

Luckily, on the other hand, Phantom is still suited to handling the task he was summoned for and whoops ass and saves the day with his ice powers in little to no time at all. The Justice League are shocked by how quickly and efficiently the kid handled everything where they struggled in comparison.

Constantine has to explain the mix up to both the Justice League and to Danny--hes still very confused, not so much scared, and very tired--and how this ghost child is now stuck being around Constantine, and subsequently the Justice League Dark/Justice League whenever he's called in to help.

Shenanigans ensue as well as the majority of the JL trying to make his stay as comfortable as possible. Danny keeps dropping info bombs on how screwed up his human/hero life and his relationship with his parents is, and eventually help him contact his friends and sister, who have been worried sick about him over the years he'd been missing.

This is how the Justice League learn about what a dead zone (ha) Amity Park is and then step up to handle situation with the guidance of Phantom himself.

✦

Notes:

The amount of time Danny's been missing, as well as the guidelines of the familiar/summons contract are up to you to decide!

(Do I use Constantine too much for these prompts? He just fits so well in so many different au scenarios, it's kinda hard not to keep throwing him into the story.)

So I think there are more night furies, maybe just not where Toothless was located geographically. These are my idea of night furies that adapted to life in an arid desert, with their own unique mannerisms. I’m picturing multiple entry points to the hidden world across the globe, which is an interconnected cave system far beneath the earth. Many more subspecies to come!! I love making these fngbgj

OPEN ART CONTEST!

As you may know, I’ve been writing a story known as Hidden Beneath. It’s gotten very little traction so far (which is to be expected), so I’m going to host an art contest in hopes that it can get a little more attention!

And even if this contest doesn’t get a lot of attention either…well, that means that any competitors will have an even higher chance of winning :)

I will have three categories, with a designated winner(s) and prize for each one!

General (2 WINNERS) (PRIZE: Fully-Shaded Bust Shot)

I will choose two winners for this category! This is the basic category, where I’ll choose the art pieces that are artistically my favorite- whether it’s your artstyle, shading, posing, etc!

Storytelling (PRIZE: Fully-Shaded Fullbody)

This is the category for pieces that display specific scenes, moments, or relationships between characters! An animatic or animation would fall under this category too!

NOTE: AN ENTRY HERE SHOULD INCLUDE TWO OR MORE CHARACTERS!

This can be two characters talking, a demonstration of the relationship between two characters, a scene with two or more characters, or a comic that retells a scene from the book!

(The two art pieces below would be examples of things that would qualify for the minimum in this category! They are by Kanpekii and Alora respectively!)

OC (PRIZES: Fullbody Art Piece of OC, Remade Ref-Sheet of OC, Featured Cameo from OC!)

Make an OC for this world, following the rules given! You have full creative control over them, and if you win I will recreate a reference sheet for them in my style, do a fully shaded fullbody art piece or them, AND give them a cameo in Hidden Beneath!

RULES:

-You may enter multiple times!

-You may draw any character from Hidden Beneath!

-Aside from OC submissions, do not clarify which category you’re going for! No matter what you intended your piece to be, you may end up winning something else :)), especially if you didn’t win the storytelling section but I really loved your piece!

-Creative interpretations are loved and encouraged, even if they aren’t completely canon compliant! Seeing everybody create diverse things makes it feel like this world has a fandom <3

-Nothing suggestive or NSFW!

-Tag me in the post!

-You may include characters that haven’t been featured in the canon yet!

-You may draw art of an AU you’ve made, or species-swap characters (whether it be animal-ifying them or even Realm-swapping them!)

-Shipping is fine, so long as both characters are of legal age, not related, and not biped x quadruped! Even if I don’t ship it myself, it would make me happy to know that somebody was invested enough in my story that they started shipping two characters <3

-To me, PASSION is just as important as SKILL! Even if you aren’t a professional, if I can see that hard work went into your entry or I really like the idea you’ll have just as much of a chance!

-You don’t have to have read the story….but it’s greatly appreciated and may be helpful!

OC RULES:

-Your character can be a Draquen, Raptor, Cordelian, Florimori, or Feallis! (Note that I will likely be less partial towards Feallis, since they’re the least unique to this world). You may NOT make a dragon or Whimsical for this contest. (I don’t have enough info for dragons and I have too many Whimsicals!)

-You MAY make a hybrid, in which case they can be PART Whimsical!

-You don’t have to make a backstory / info for them, but you’ll definitely get bonus points if you do! The more attached I am to your character the more likely you are to win >:3 Design isn’t everything!

THE DUE DATE IS AUGUST 25th!

have i mentioned how much i love my snails?

i love them a lot

so much that i really want, if i find a tank on sale or a cheap but good DIY option, to make a dedicated snail tank and have a bunch of them crawl around

they are so nice and cool and pretty

[thefirstknife]

One more thing. In the cutscene, when Eris starts chanting and "invokes the Worm gods," we hear her say three words:

"Akka... Xita... Sel..."

Obviously Akka and Xita are Worm gods. New Worm god just dropped??? We've never before heard the name "Sel." The only pattern I'm seeing in these being invoked is that Akka and Xita are dead. So maybe Sel is another, some forgotten Worm god that's died a long time ago. Or maybe it's just a word in the incantation, but that's a strange placement for it here with two other Worms.

I have found a beautiful perfect humble rock specimen that is light yellow with a weird dark yellowy brown lining, somewhat resembling a chunk of smoked gouda cheese... effervescent

Art for @peachypangolin (On Instagram and Cara)

Did a scene for the first time in a while aaA

Not too proud of it but oh well, I did a few other scenes I'm gonna post soon

Anyway, I'm on Cara now! I'm gonna post an official announcement on Instagram about moving here and Cara

I feel extremely saddened by the situation. It just feels like 5 years worth of work on Instagram had suddenly been thrown away :")

I'll get over it eventually, but damn

[puppyeared]

i feel shy talking here when i dont have anything worth sharing but i cant help feeling like ive said things in the tags that could be brought up in court
